[There really are such foolish commanders in the world. 】

When all the information was gathered, this was Kael'tham's first thought.

At this time, he didn't even know whether to cry or laugh.

But the orcs who drank the blood of the demons were eroded by the killing **, lost their calmness and sanity, and perhaps it was normal to make an idiot's decision.

After all, with the exception of the squad they had encountered, none of the remaining orcs had actually fought with the elves.

They think their team is powerful and don't realize how terrible the elves are!

Through the analysis of the intelligence, Kael'thas discovered a strange phenomenon - several orc troops of 1,000 men are advancing in an arc route.

It looks like they're scattering, but if they're scattered, they should be scattered in a straight triangle, and there's no need to shrink again.

Coupled with the position of their commander, Kael'thas came to an unexpected conclusion.

The orcs are not trying to infiltrate Hinterland, they are surround the elves!

- "I see, you want to annihilate us completely"

Running through the already sparse forest, Mephites laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world:

"It's wishful thinking, I really don't know what this orc's head thinks! How could they send a fool over!! ”

"They must think that more than 4,000 people are enough to wipe us out!"

Liadlin raised her eyebrows, in fact, even if she was not deeply aware of the difference in strength between the two sides, she would be intimidated by the number of the other party.

The commander of the orcs obviously wanted to destroy the elves with numbers, an average of 4 people against 1 elf, even if there was a slight gap, but it could be victorious.

After all, they had the impression that elves had no melee combat, and their fragile bodies were completely incomparable to the resilience of trolls and the strength of orcs, and they decided that elves would lose melee combat.

It's ridiculous

A race that has not seen the true power of spells cannot appreciate the horror of the elves' war spells at all.

Even without the use of melee professionals, Kael'thas is confident that he can destroy them!

"So, Your Highness, what are we going to do?"

Mephites suppressed her smile and asked Kael'thas.

"The countermeasures remain the same, head towards the nearest thousand-strong team on the right, there is the terrain I need!"

Kael'thas said, thinking about the map he had just identified.

Then he skimmed at Liadeline's somewhat puzzled look, and explained:

"We must not let those enemies doubt our movements, so that in case they abandon the siege and carry out the breakthrough of Hinterland, it will be troublesome!"

Since the orcs want to surround the elves, Kael'thas is naturally happy to accompany them.

He had just received good news that the Hammer Dwarves were sending some land soldiers into the forest to help, but they were no more slow than the elves, and it would take some time to form a line in the forest.

I heard that the team on the beach of Hinterland is also gathering and preparing to send some over.

Before that, Kael'thas delayed for a while! If you're lucky, you might be able to annihilate these orc forces.

However, this is somewhat difficult

The orcs scattered and surrounded the elves, which was actually a very wise decision from a certain point of view.

They can first try to fight the elves, and if that doesn't work, they can scatter again at any time.

On the periphery, they have the initiative in action.

To solve this problem, you have to rely on the topography.

Kael'thas was gambling on the trade-off between annihilating the elves and infiltrating the forest

He thought that since the orc commander had made the decision to encircle, he should be more inclined to fight the elves.

Besides, the position set by Kael'thas is not particularly good.

If he chooses a place where the orcs can't surround them, or the orcs can't disperse quickly, then it is estimated that the other party will not be fooled.

So Kael'thas chose a small canyon

In that place, the orcs can block the elves from the mouth of the canyon, and if the battle is lost, they can quickly evacuate from the mouth of the canyon, which is a very attractive place - how can they endure such an advantage?

Of course, that place also takes care of the elves

To put it simply, the canyon is surrounded by steep forests, and if something happens, the elves can run into the mountains and hide in the forest.

And to the west of the canyon, right to the Hinterland.

Kael'thas had fled with Kalia a few years earlier, and had entered Hinterland from the mountain above, and he had looked down on the canyon, so he knew that there was a small depression in it, and there were many stones blocking the way.

But those things can be quickly cleaned up in front of the elves' magic, and they can't stop them from retreating at all.

You can tempt each other, and you can leave yourself a way out, and there is no more suitable place.

[Even if you can't destroy them all, it's good to be able to destroy most of them!] 】

Kael'thas thought about fighting that unit, and he would try some way to block the canyon's retreat, but the success rate was low, and the orcs and trolls should be able to escape.

But even that doesn't matter.

The orcs are out of the mouth of the canyon, and they will not be very close to the mountains on the Hinterland border.

In other words, it's a big deal, and it's back to the current situation.

But after a battle, the opposite side will suffer a certain amount of damage, and with the support of the dwarves, the crisis in Hinterland will be smaller than it is now!

After a burst of thought, Kael'thas felt much more relieved.

"How far is it from that squad?"

He rode the white bird and ran through the forest with countless elves, turning his head to ask the elves who kept passing information to the returning thieves.

"Your Highness, it's not good!"

The elf followed him closely, pale as he rode a bird to sort things out, and he was in charge of compiling small pieces of information before waiting to answer Kael'thas's inquiries or report on new important discoveries.

And the moment Kael'thas just opened his question, the elf had just opened a note that had been shot out of the forest, and his face was even more ugly.

"The squad we're going to charge has backed back!"

He replied.

Kael'thas turned pale:

"Did you retreat, or did you enter the forest?"

He asked.

"No, it's neither, it's just a distance from us!"

The elf sat on a bumpy bird, with the reins in one hand, and with some difficulty read the contents of the note, reported.

Kael'thas breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's okay."

He turned his head to stare ahead, raised an eyebrow, and said:

"You just don't want us to attack them smoothly!"

The other party apparently found the target on his side and retreated, not wanting to be hurt before the encirclement was formed.

Their essential purpose has not changed

In fact, avoiding a battle beforehand also created time for Kael'thas to rush to that canyon.
